HIGH SCHOOL NOTES, ' Items Of Interest From 'The Acropolis On The Hill. Wednesday afternoon of last week, a very interesting debate was held in Form III. The leader of the affirma- tive was W. J. McLean, and of the negative, Miss M. L. Ross. Excellent papers were given by both sides, but it was deckled that the negative had the better by a few points. The hockey match which was an- nounced to have come off last Friday evening, between our boys and the Wioghaua Juniors, was postponed on account of the condition of the ice, The debate for last week's Lit. was unavoidably prevented 'from taking place on account of the illness of R. Stackhouse. The program, however, was very good and consisted of musi- cal selections and impromptu speeches. If possible, the debate will come off at the next meeting, on Feb. 28. One feature of all the programs, which is very interesting to all the students, is the reading of the High School Jour- nal. Mr. Smith pex•forned the duties of critic at the last meeting. • The Wingham Bonspiel, There was a good attendance at Wingham Bonspiel on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last.

Local Option Recount. The recount of the votes in the recent Local Option contest in Howick was held in Gorrie, on Tues- day of this week, before Judge Doyle, It resulted in adding one vote to each side, and does not change the situation.. New Telephone Connection. Tho private telephone system run- ning from Fordwieh to points in the townships of Howick and Wallace has been connected at Fordwich with the. Bell Telephone lines, so that an exchange of conversations over the two systems is now possible. For Friday Evening. A lively game of hockey dated for Friday evening this week, Listowel team will play the local team in the Winghani rink. As Listowel has only been beaten once this season, and 1Vingham boys are playing fast hockey, an interesting game is assur- ed. The Band will be in attendance. The boys will appreciate a big attendance. The Canning Factory Propose!. The Board of Trade and a number of interested citizens tnet on Tuesday evening to consider the question of establishing a Canning factory in Wingham. President R. Clegg had made enquiries and ascertained that it would require a plant costing $20,000, and at least $10,000 floating capital. This was considered out of proportion to the possible benefits, and a motion was passed to proceed no further with the' matter. The party who started the movement by offering to take $500 stock was not present, at least, did not declare himself, He is still behind the curtain. New Building Occupied. The office fittings of the new build- ing of the Canadian Bank of Com- merce, arrived on Friday last, after considerable delay on account of the recent blockade. They were at once placed in position, and manager A. E. Smith and his assistants will move in some day this week. The furnishings are handsome, and substantial, and the office arrangements appear to have been so well provided for, that nothing has been omitted. The fine building was fully described in these columns a few weeks ago, and all that is now necessary is to report its occu- pation, and congratulate Mr. Smith and his staff upon the convenient and comfortable quarters they now enjoy. Some new Parlor suites just receiv- ed, and we will give low prices, that will make it pay you to buy now. A four -piece suite, as low as -$15, at S. Gracey's. LOCAL OPTION NOTES. By the Local Option Literature Committee. The liquor dealers of Canada pay into the public treasury for license $10,000,000 each year, and the public pay the liquor dealers for drink each year $150,000,000. Now, any school boy can tell you that $140,000,000 is the less we sustain. Not only is there a financial loss, which the above figures is only the direct amount, but consider the misery it carries in its trail, the four miles of graves dug each year to accommodate its victims, the hunger and starvation of the inno- cent, the many weary days behind the prison bars, etc., etc., and then ask yourself the question. "Could I vote to maintain this awful traffic ?" Would you like to see Xouit son a drunkard ? Other men's sons, who were once as pure as yours is today, grew up to be such. Drink is very alluring, and while the temptation exists, there is great danger of such a thing happening. As a sensible man make up your mind to do all in your power to banish this curse, and when the time cornea to. use your vote arid influence, do What you know is right for the betterment of your fellow man. No man owning residential property would dare to have a hotel or saloom adjoining Jt, it would he considered of less value ort that account. The environments -to raise a family in would not he considered choice, W.e look upon these places as blemishes, a breeding piece of sin and lawlessness of many kind. Lot us have a change by trying Local Option, and this we are sure will bring In a, bettor condi; tion of affairs, CARD op THANKS. We wish to thank one many kind friends and neighbors for the many act. of kindness shown, and assist- ance given tis, during Mr. Henderson's recent illness, 11tH. & Mits. Wm. 3.

Shortly after, • a second messago.arriv- ed announcing her death. Miss Find - later was well-known, and the bereav- ed family will be sympathized with in their sorrow. Wingham 7; Harriston 6. Wingham hockeyists defeated Har- riston players in a very fast game in Harriston on .Friday evening; at half- time, the Harriston Bronohos led by a score of 0:2. The Winghani teats. then got down to hard play, and though the Bronchos did their best, Wingham swept the ice like a cyclone, and the game closed with a victory for them on a score of 7-0. The line- up: Wingham—Britton, goal; Moore, point ; Johnston, cover ; T. Elliott, rover; A. Fleming, centre; McLean, Ieft; H. Elliott, right, Harriston— Dixon, goal ; Thompson, point Bates, cover; McDowell, rover; Whitman, centre; Ward, left; Bennett, right. Buteau Of Public Health, In the House of Commons on the 5th inst., Dr. J. B. Black, the Liberal member for Hants, Nova Scotia, moved— "That, in the opinion of this House, the time has arrived when the government of Canada should perfect organization whereby pre- sent scientific knowledge should be made practically_ available for the suppression of the causes of preventable diseases." He supported the motion in an able address. The motion was seconded by Dr. T. Chisholm, M. P. for East Huron, in an address, which will be found on page 4. That this motion should be moved by a Liberal and seconded by a Conservative, indicates that it is of public importance. Mat- ters of this kind should not be treated in a partisan manner, and the mover and seconder of this motion discharg- ed their duties faithfully in bringing the question before the House. WE'LL MEND 'Ear.—If your Shoes need a neat patch, half sole, or want repairing in any way, bring them here,—W. J. Greer. The Weather Outlook. Prof. Hicks' forecasted storms of wind and rain about Feb. 121h, to be followed by colder weather. This is just exactly whet happened, for it rained in Wingham on Thursday evening, nearlyall day Friday. By the 15th, another change to colder had taken place, and a blizzard set in. The weather in the latter part of Feb- ruary will be affected by the approach of the vernal equinox. Storms may be expected to culminate about Sun- day, 23rd, to Tuesday, 25th. Another storm period. is due as the month ends, coming to a point on March 1st and 2nd. Altogether Hicks predicts much unpleasant weather er t n February dry and March. If the rules that govern Mars periods prevail, it will be cold even up to the end of April, and Hicks says "cold and precarious far into May," but he adds—"Let us hope for a slip in the cogs." Celebration la Ooderich. The Orangemen of South Huron have decided to celebrate the Battle of the Boyne at Godericb, the famous and pretty county town of Huron, and the Orangemen of Ooderich have the matter well in hand. They pro- pose ropose to make the event a monster, up- to-date, old-time Orange celebration, and will have the assistance of the. citizens generally. With the G. T. R. and its convenient intersections, and the opening of the C. P. R. from Guelph, as well as a much improved boat service, and the expectation of chartering the steel steamer, "Grey- hound," of the 'White Star Line, from Detroit, and a guarantee of a good passenger list by water from Grand Fiend, there should be many thou- sands of visitors. Every detail is being arranged, and farther an. nounceinents will be made, Clinton Bylaw Stands. At Osgood° Hall, last week, the Clinton Waterworks By-law appeal was heard. B. L. Diekiuson (Gode- rieh) for Johnson, moved to quash by- law No, 10 of 1007, of the Town of Clinton, entitled "Water Works By- law," for illegality, on the grounds that Charles Helyar, a deputy return- ing officer, broke open the bellot•box at his poll and did take out and destroy a number of ballots therein and marked and placed within the ballot -box an equal number in favor of the bylaw and on other grounds, W. Prondfoot, 1{•. 0., for the town corporation, contra, The applicant's counsel tendered an affidavit of the ;Mayor of the town sworn on the 12th inst., in which he tadtnitted the act of the deputy complained of, but the affidavit was objected .as not having been put In in time.

Birmingham, Organizer of the Order, addressed the Lodge, urg- ing greater efforts to increase the membership, In the evening an open meeting was held in the Lodge room, when Mr. Birmingham delivered an address reviewing the history of the Order, and in view of the develop- ments of recent years, the necessity for its perpetuation. A.t the, close of the address, refreshments were served, and brief addresses given by visitors and members of the local Lodge. • Death Of Mrs. Jackson. The sad death of Mrs. Mary Jackson aged 71 years, 11 months. and 11 days, the wife of Mr. Abraham Jackson, took place at 8 o'clock on Jan, 31st, in Holy Cross hospital, Calgary. Mrs, Jackson bad a sudden attack of pneu- monia on Monday, which necessitated her removal to the hospital, where death took place, notwithstanding every effort put forth by her medical advisers. Mrs. Jackson removed to Calgary four years ago from Blnevale, and was living on a ranch one mile west of Calgary. She was a staunch member of the Methodist church, and dearly loved for her kind and gener- ous disposition by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Deceased was out to church on the Sunday pre. vious to her death, and her sudden demise was it great shock to the fami- ly and friends. Had she lived until Feb, 4th (the day of her burial) she would have been married 51 years, She leaves to mourn her, a husband and family of three daughters and three sons. They are : Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Bragg, Edmonton ; Mrs. Leech, Detroit ; Thomas, Charles and Kersey Jackson of Calgary. The fune- ral took place from the residence of her son, Thomas, West Calgary, to the Union cemetery. Rev, G. W. Kerby conducted a short service at the house. Electric Light Commissioners. In another column will be found the By-law to be submitted for the approval of the electors on March 23rd. This By-law authorizes the transference of the management of the Electric Light plant from the Town Council to three Commission- ers, of whom, the Mayor of the Town will be one. The Council met on Fri- day evening to consider the By-law, which had been prepared to include the Electric Light and the Water- works. On fuller discussion, it • was decided to let the Waterworks remain under the control of the Council. The By-law was • therefore changed to cover the Electric Light plant only, and the Council met on Saturday evening and gave the By-law its first and second readings. This By-law should be carefully read that it may be understood. The fact that the Mayor of the Town for the tune being is always one of the Commissioners, keeps the Council in touch with the Commissioners. As to the powers of the Commissioners, we understand that they have the"saune control and powers as the Council in the matter of the plant. The advantage to be gain- ed is in allowing them to give their whole thought to the plant, without having other matters of municipal administration to take up their atten- tion. Besides, it is expected that at least two members of the Commission will remain frbin year to year, and thus prevent the plant falling into the hands of a new comtnittee, caused by changes in the annual election of the Town Council, The Commissioners should be mon of good juclgtnent and foresight, men who have something at stake in the town, and loyal enough to its interests to devote a portion of their Lime to the work before them. That there is work ahead of thern, none can deny, for it is generally admitted that the plant should be put into good trim as soon as possible, and with the strictest regard to good management and econotny. Hence a great deal depends upon the Commissioners elected. As there is no salary attached to the office, it will not be a sinecure, but then it will afford an opportunity for the (lommissionei's to render the Town good service, by putting the plant in first-class condition. Potent'. ately, there are a number of good men available for the position, head the 1#y -law carefully. The nomination of Commissioners will bo held on Match 17, in the Commit Chamber, and the election (if neeessal•y) on the satire day as voting on the Bylaw, Mitt. 23rd, I3 tnct.r.tes Tet SIIoEs.—" 'ou get bet- ter bergalns.in Shoos at Greer's than elsewhere.Besides, IVO 80Wl ring i 3 free in shoes bouht of Itis.—%V, J.

Mrs. Gardiner was among the many taken ill during the storm. Mrs. McCracken being anxious to see her mother, waited at Brussels station all Saturday night, hoping, as the track was cleared, to get a train, and was rewarded by . arriving at BIuevale at half -past seven Sunday morning. During the recent snow blockade, the G. T. R. gave the unemployed of the village work, shovelling snow. They were all ordered out for Sunday, but most of the villagers failed to re- spond. A lengthy argument took place in Henderson's store on Satur- day night•as to the right or wrong of shovelling snow on Sunday. Some claimed that it was not a work of 'necessity, as the road was clear on Saturday evening. - v f 1' 1 WANTED. -1000 Rat Skins, and all other kinds Raw Furs.—G. E. King. Dn. OVENS, M.
